Glad somebody is scoring, because I struck out again. Nobody showed up this weekend and I had the property all to myself. Woke up Saturday and thermometer said it was 80 degrees at 6am, and there was zero wind. It got up to about 92 by noon and stayed there the whole day. I don't remember this part of Georgia being this hot, this time of year before.
It's a good thing I brought the anti-tick stuff BC sent me because they were ALL OVER the clubhouse, but they stayed off of me and I have to say, that stuff really works!!!!
Since I was alone, I spent most of Saturday scouting. I finally put up my portable stand in a bottom that had some white oaks and a creek with some water in it about 3pm and hunted until dark. Saw a few squirrels though, and at least that was enough to keep me from getting discouraged.
Went back to the same spot on Sunday and about 1pm saw 4 doe on the other side of the creek. They were a good 50-60 yards away and walking through some thick stuff, I'd have thought twice about shooting through with a rifle, so I wasn't going to try it with my bow.
Maybe I should practice more so I can get back to making those 70 yard shots at 10" plates like I used to do?
It was weird though, because it was like NOBODY was hunting. Usually I'll see some guys from surrounding clubs, but this weekend it felt like I was the only one hunting in the whole state.
